The "fights" he picked with powerful "Wall Streeters" were mostly thrown out of court on appeal. So, he was out of line, there, too. He abused his power, he broke the law, he practiced "public service" like a Soprano. New York has to look under rocks and see what crawls out to find people to run for office, I guess. Anyone with any sense doesn't run, because the media will slime them so much--it's not worth it. This wonderful bastion of Democratic power.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc77ac69bedd440f000008Christopher LondonTue, 09 Jul 2013 16:50:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc77ac69bedd440f000008
MIKE BLOOMBERG - BILL RUDIN - CHRISTINE QUINN MACHINE'S SECOND BIGGEST FEAR IS ELIOT SPITZER AS COMPTROLLER
Eliot Spitzer makes far more sense than any machine politician or politcal hack aspiring to the Mayoralty. "The Worst People In New York All Hate Eliot Spitzer — And That's Why You Should Like Him." - and that is absolutely why it makes sense to have Eliot Spitzer in this position.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc3a24eab8ea293a000009trecerTue, 09 Jul 2013 12:28:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc3a24eab8ea293a000009
Wiener makes me go a little "meh," although I don't think there should be moral outrage over him running for mayor. Spitzer, on the other hand, is a genuine talent. He demonstrated for years his ability to go after wrongdoers. We need relatively independent-minded, driven people like him in offfice.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc399b6bb3f7e63700000ebittergreenTue, 09 Jul 2013 12:26:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc399b6bb3f7e63700000e
Anonymous commenters commenting about male's "alphaness" is absolutely hilarious.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc2315ecad049e76000013phonerangerTue, 09 Jul 2013 10:49:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc2315ecad049e76000013
Anyone that gets Ken Langone and the UFT upset has my vote.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc223a69bedd334e000012StreetFeedsTue, 09 Jul 2013 10:46:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc223a69bedd334e000012
Maybe he should cut to the chase run for mayor now. I think (hope) he'd win.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc1007eab8ea756000001fPeteTue, 09 Jul 2013 09:28:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc1007eab8ea756000001f
Why not find somebody new?? It's not as if these two were the best politicians of our generation. They had a chance and did what they did. Let's find fresh faceshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc0e56ecad04ce4c000020MikentTue, 09 Jul 2013 09:21:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc0e56ecad04ce4c000020
" At least Eliot has balls, which most politicians lack." And a spine.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc0d3deab8ea7660000002MikentTue, 09 Jul 2013 09:16:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc0d3deab8ea7660000002
I'd rather have someone screwing prostitutes than screwing the American public.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc0ae869beddd61700001ctrecerTue, 09 Jul 2013 09:06:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc0ae869beddd61700001c
Both Wiener and Spitzer lost their jobs and had to apologize as a result of their pecadillos. Both spent significant time exiled from politics. They already paid a more than reasonable price for what they did, so why the heck not give them a second chance? The idea that your mistakes of passion have to mark you for life is ridiculous. And what a farce for an organization like the NYT to wag its disapproving fingers over this issue. Half of Congress should be put in jail for obstructionism and fomenting the culture of influence peddling, and we make such a fuss over some stupid sexual indiscretions? Give me a break.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc099a6bb3f7b55d000004JimBob789Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:01:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc099a6bb3f7b55d000004
Perversely, in the US where most men are beta, the very few alpha males who burst with sex, have an appeal to women that women only privately admit to.
Compare Spitzer and Weiner to Barack Obama-- whose wife says always apologizes first when they have a dispute.
Can you imagine Hillary saying this about Bill-- another Alpha male?
Besides, if you didn't mind Bill's side-dipping, why should you mind Elliott's? The only problem is that he felt he had to pay for it.
Grow up, all of you. At least Elliott has balls, which most politicians lack.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc08e6ecad04a447000004Newt from the MoonTue, 09 Jul 2013 08:58:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dc08e6ecad04a447000004
Or if the public labor unions think Elliot Spitzer is too conservative what in God's name will the be satisfied with?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbfc8169beddce7b000001bittergreenTue, 09 Jul 2013 08:05:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbfc8169beddce7b000001
Our resident "former Republican" likes autocratic politicians with delusions of their own awesomness, who finds the letter of the law an inconvenience their own personal dealings.
Yep, "the Republican party left you".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbfaa0eab8eac62f000015floridiotTue, 09 Jul 2013 07:57:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbfaa0eab8eac62f000015
Ya think? Nice to know the NSA (or whoever) was able to figure out his "excessive" ATM cash withdrawals made him a potential terrorist worthy of investigation.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbfa046bb3f7943900001dfloridiotTue, 09 Jul 2013 07:54:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbfa046bb3f7943900001d
I'll take the guy hiring prostitutes over the guy that is banging his staff on company or government time. Yea capitalism!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbf68769bedd0e6f000001bendoverbenTue, 09 Jul 2013 07:39:51 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbf68769bedd0e6f000001
he does what they all do, do what's good for Eliot the idiot!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbed58eab8ea4e1800000dBuster BunnsTue, 09 Jul 2013 07:00:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbed58eab8ea4e1800000d
I am more than willing to forgive Spitzer if he takes on the banksters and nails their sorry hides to the wall. Ripping Wall Street will be something we can cheer him on about. Maybe we will even see some of the bastards in jail.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbec7a69bedd1050000012JaydeeTue, 09 Jul 2013 06:56:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbec7a69bedd1050000012
The conspiracy theorist in me still says Spitzer was taken down by the powers that be in advance of the financial crisis for a reason.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbe08decad04f276000019Bread&CircusTue, 09 Jul 2013 06:06:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbe08decad04f276000019
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction . There must be some absolute tools in NYhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbd4b2ecad04f55c00006apushbuttonchimpTue, 09 Jul 2013 05:15:30 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbd4b2ecad04f55c00006a
Spitzer was great on his TV show, too bad he had to pair up with that stick-in-the-mud chick that brought the whole show down. If he loses this race he should try to get his own TV show again, this time with somebody who could actually discuss issues as good as he can.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbcf7becad04735c000004Crusader70Tue, 09 Jul 2013 04:53:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbcf7becad04735c000004
Oh please. I entertained good, married, God-fearin' American businessmen in Bangkok for 25 years, and the ones who passed up the chance to get laid by a cute 22-year old were few and far between. Men are men the world over. And one-to-one prostitution is legal in many countries, as it should be,http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbc7386bb3f78a60000002Timmy CTue, 09 Jul 2013 04:18:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dbc7386bb3f78a60000002
Since Mark Sanford got reelected, everything is possible. At least Spitzer would be all over Wall Street if he got another shot.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dba8bbeab8ea970500001famcynicTue, 09 Jul 2013 02:07:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51dba8bbeab8ea970500001f
Spitzker's scandal was far worse than any extra-marital affair because he was dipping into whores. Prostitution is illegal and public servants have the biggest moral imperative of anyone to set the example for everyone by actually following the laws they are entrusted to enforce.
I also believe public officials should be our best and brightest in both intellect and character and the fact he resorted to prostitution doesn't speak very much for his morals or his integrity. The people get the government they deserve and if nimrods like pantie boy Brett LoGuirato and other NYC residents want to vote for sex perverts like Anthony Weiner and Spitzker then they'll get a government of morally bankrupt sex perverts like they deserve.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51db97e0ecad04056e000011realllyTue, 09 Jul 2013 00:56:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51db97e0ecad04056e000011
"The Worst People In New York All Hate Eliot Spitzer" ... I don't think Henry sends Eliot christmas cards after what Eliot did to Henry...so are you impling your boss Henry Blodget is one of the worst people in New York? Just asking...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51db89a8eab8ea474f000004Matt LMon, 08 Jul 2013 23:55:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51db89a8eab8ea474f000004
Or you can look at it another way .... If everyone thinks you are a douchebag ..... you are probably a douchebag!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51db83a26bb3f72f5f000002NickMon, 08 Jul 2013 23:29:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51db83a26bb3f72f5f000002
We should hate him because he's a self serving liar.
Did he care about the vow he made to his wife? Nah, he just took those vows to get what he wanted at the time. They were of couse a lie because the moment he wanted to bang a hooker those vows went right out the window. As long as Eliot gets what Eliot wants I guess.
Did he care about the law he swore an oath ro uphold when he was sworn in as attorney general? Of course not, he just wanted to be in a position of power so he said anything to get there. His oath was of course a lie, he doesn't give a shit about the law and the moment he wanted to sleep with a hooker his regard for the law went out the window. As long as Eliot gets what Eliot wants.
The best part of all of this? We paid for it. The tax payers on NY paid for his lies. We paid to have an attorney general who didn't give a crap about the law. He wants us to trust him. He wants MORE of our tax dollars. Tell me....if this man's wife, the woman he loved couldn't trust him....why should you?
